Welcome to the board. I was not aware that Rover did a 2.6 in a P5. It was after all called the "3 litre". No doubt Phil will be along shortly to clarify. Yes they did for certain exports where high tax rates on large engined cars were present - France long being one. They even did a 2.4L but not surprisingly only a handful were sold

Good morning, I am the lucky neighbor of a P5 MKII 2.6 LHD owner We are in Maine and Loire in Angers in France, the car is not running at the moment, the engine is running. Glad to find an active forum to make progress on the car! View AttachmentHi Valentin, Welcome to the forum. You're now on the list.

To add to Phil's comment above re 2.4 & 2.6 P5s, there was 1 RHD MK1A 2.6, used by Rover, and 25 LHD ones, all supplied to the French distributor in Paris. 25 LHD 2.4s were supplied to the Austrian importer.
There were 92 LHD 2.6s MK2s, again all supplied to France, along with 1 RHD. The remaining 13 RHD MK2s went to Nigeria. It is not known whether there were any 2.4 MK2s supplied, although it was clear they planned to do so (source, James Taylor).
